Steven Di Pilla - Ton of Bricks Lyrics

You know it hit me like a ton of bricks
When I saw you lying there
It was a case I couldn't fix
I had no time to prepare
I hadn't seen it overtake me, crashing through my heart in force
Next thing I know I'm down on one knee, then gravity ran its course
You know it hit me like a ton of bricks
It hit me fast, hit me hard
It wasn't stones, it wasn't sticks
Far too painful to disregard
I couldn't see it sneak behind me, taking all my breath away
The sight is one I couldn't unsee, the thing was underway
Flashing back to when you were so vibrant, who knew
How the years would extract their toll from you
Even as I stayed strong
You know it hit me like a ton of bricks
I knew at once it was the end
All out of time, and out of tricks
No use in trying to pretend
I should have seen that it was coming, you were all but too far gone
The truth was altogether numbing, it's up to me to carry on
